My first walk post injury seemed....wimpy. I met a friend who is also trying to recover from an injury and had to walk much slower than I typically would, and about half the distance I typically would like to complete.
Part of me felt like ... Read more

About three weeks ago, I injured myself. Bad bout of plantar fasciitis/inflamed Achilles tendon . Boy did it hurt!
Much better after a lot of rest. Which is not really what I wanted - rest. I wanted ACTIVITY.
Today after work I'm goi... Read more

I found myself beating myself up with negative thoughts today. Thoughts like:
"No wonder you're fat - you have no self discipline!"
"You can't control yourself. You don't deserve to have a loss this week".
Not good. Unhealthy th... Read more

Out sick yesterday, slept the majority of the day. Better today, still feeling congested but at least no pounding headache!
I've noticed I run an average of 2200 calories a day. SP would like me to eat 1920 or less. At 1920....I'm hungry. T... Read more

Well, I overate yesterday. By about 475 calories. Fresh french bread at dinner and a half a cup of ice cream pretty much did me in.
The bread....I warred with myself at the grocery store. It was fresh and smelled sooooo gooooood. We were h... Read more

Yesterday's weigh in showed a 3 pound loss! I'm happy, but you know i've lost that same three pounds several times in the last year.
I do feel that it was from watching what I ate and moving more, as opposed to the dumb luck it was likely... Read more

So, yesterday was a pretty big deal for me. Why? Because I tracked every bit of food/beverage that went into my mouth. This is not something I'm great at, and to do it for the entire day was a big deal for me.
If my Fitbit said I was in th... Read more
